Saddle Nose Surgery Review: A Strong Columellar Support Strut

Saddle Nose Surgery Review

A Strong Columellar Support Strut

Hello. This is OJIKO Plastic Surgery & N+ Plus, a clinic that thinks only about your beautiful and healthy nose.

Today’s topic is a saddle nose surgery review about correcting an upturned nose by building a columellar support strut.

In today’s world, qualifications are important, but appearance is also a form of competitiveness. In the past, plastic surgery was widely perceived as something only women did, but in modern times, people of all ages and genders try various ways to improve their appearance. However, one thing that cannot be changed with makeup or dieting alone is the nose. That is why people seeking greater satisfaction look into saddle nose surgery reviews. The nose is located at the center of our face, so it helps determine facial balance and also adds dimensionality. When the bridge is low, the tip is wide, or the tip is turned up, it disrupts facial balance, and this can lead people to search for saddle nose surgery reviews because of the stress it causes.

What is an upturned nose / saddle nose? It refers to a nose with a tip that is turned upward, so that the nostrils are clearly visible from the front. In the case of a saddle nose, there may be congenital factors, but it can also be an acquired condition that appears after nasal surgery due to contracture, which shortens the tip of the nose.

Those looking into saddle nose surgery reviews are often people with concerns about the nasal tip. In particular, when the tip is lifted and has a blunt, bulbous shape, attention naturally falls on the nose, so saddle nose surgery can create a more refined and sharp impression.

However, when looking into saddle nose surgery reviews, it may seem simple if approached as something cosmetic or inexpensive. But if the surgery is done without careful research, it can lead to revision surgery. The nose has a much more complex structure than most people think, so it is necessary to have extensive knowledge of nasal anatomy, to work with a design suited to the individual’s face, and to have the ability to analyze the internal structure in detail. Therefore, when checking these aspects, surgery should be performed based on analysis and data obtained through 3D-CT imaging and internal endoscopic examination in order to achieve satisfying results.

These are the types of combined correction procedures at N+ Plus for correcting an upturned nose.

1. Skin extension / cartilage grafting - Secures the skin space needed for tip correction and grafts autologous cartilage to correct the tip height, giving the nasal tip clear projection and creating an overall high nasal line.

2. Septal extension - Uses strong septal cartilage or rib cartilage to extend the nasal tip downward / forward, clearly increasing the length of the upturned tip so that the nostrils are not visible.

3. Columellar support strut - After grafting ear cartilage or septal cartilage between the inner crura of the alar cartilage (wing cartilage), the structure is firmly fixed so that the nasal tip does not turn up or droop again.

Saddle nose surgery is a high-difficulty procedure that simultaneously lowers an upturned nasal tip and corrects the projection of the nasal tip. To clearly improve a short nasal tip, N+ Plus performs at least two or more different combined correction procedures. We promise highly satisfying results by selectively performing the following: the 'septal extension' that lowers the upturned tip, the 'columellar support strut' that firmly fixes the tip so it does not turn up again, and the 'skin extension & cartilage grafting' that satisfy both projection and length.

How is saddle nose surgery performed?

1. When the nasal tip lift is mild - A strong support cartilage is grafted between the columella to stabilize the tip cartilage so it does not wobble, and then autologous cartilage is grafted to the tip to refine the overall nasal line.

2. When the nasal tip lift is severe - Strong autologous cartilage is used to sufficiently lengthen the nasal tip (septal extension), and after autologous cartilage is grafted to the tip, the overall nasal line is refined.

That concludes our saddle nose surgery review using a columellar support strut.

I hope this post was very helpful for those who are worried about an upturned nose or a short nose.

Thank you^^
